Sitting in another Parish Committee meeting (I'm not a councillor), I regularly hear invalid reasons for objection put forward. The best of tonight's crop were; '.... the design includes a lift.... and I think it's going to be used as a care home...', and that from a Councillor So, I spent a few moments googling 'invalid reasons for objecting to planning applications' And this is what I found; Martin Goodhall's planning blog K S Law's site Clackmannashire's planning site Designing Buildings Wiki The Government's own advice (read 'What Cannot Be Considered') I spoke up, and said that I thought speculation about motive for the build was probably unwise, and might well be improper (impugning the application). Got shot at for saying that. That's absolutely fine by me. It's a privilege to be taken to task for openness. None of us is getting older are we? None of us are going to need a lift in our old age. Everyone uses stair-lifts. What's the 'worst' reason for objection you've heard?
